Intro:Last June, I decided to lift weights. I was on Zyprexa, some cool antipsychotic for bipolar people (I'm bipolar), and that stuff made me gain weight so freaking rapidly. I'm 5'8" and I went from 130lb to 170lb in like a month. Bench press went from 175 to 235. Deadlift from 275 to 365. Squat from 185 to 295. This was all in the month of June. Fun times lol. I like noob gains.

Then, some annoying insanity happened and an alternate personality and other crap.

My stats are back to this now:Bench = 205Squat = 225Deadlift = 315

I just started the 5/3/1 program today, and I hope to make some fun gains again. I call them noob gains because I feel like I progress the quickest during the noob stage (I'm such an inconsistent lifter). I went from 130lb to 142lb in a week of doing some random lifting.

[I think I need to lower my weights. I was repping till failure, and I know I'm not supposed to do that.]

EDIT: I am stupid. I thought beginner gains would be a part of this log and my progress, but doing some reading, I quickly found out that there shall be no such thing as that. I suppose steady progress shall keep me going.

Deadlift: 5 reps of 235, 5 reps of 245, 3 reps of 265 (I was supposed to 5, but I failed), and a few reps of 245.
Lunges [with back foot on bench] : 3 sets of 6 reps with a 40lb dumbbell
Hanging Ab Raises: 3 sets of 16

I attempted all my maxes (not training maxes) today for the bench press, squat, and deadlift. I did a bunch of singles to work my way up to my maxes.

Deadlift was 315. I failed the 335 attempt because my grip sucks and i dropped the weight at the top.
Squat was 275.
Bench press was 225, and it was easy. I didn’t have a spotter, so I didn’t do any more weight than that.

Then I just did a bunch of random crap because it was fun at the time. Lots of rows. I like rows for some reason.
